Agoda.com releases their global guide to getting the best hotel deals
Agoda’s latest study shows how you can plan your trip to get the lowest hotel prices

MANILA, Philippines – Agoda.com has announced the results of its most recent “Travel Smart” study. The result is a trip-planning calendar that helps travelers to find the best hotel deals worldwide.  

“For many travelers, price is the most important factor in deciding when and where to go. This data can help our customers get the most out of their money,” said John Brown, Chief Operating Officer of Agoda.com.

Based on booking data from millions of Agoda users in 2014, the study analyzed hotel prices at 25 of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. For many destinations across the globe, the cheapest time to book hotels is in the beginning of the year. Though most travelers don’t think of September and October as high season, those months are often the most expensive months for hotel rooms.

The best time to buy also depends on the destination. Mid-March is a great time to visit Europe, as hotel rooms in Paris, Berlin, Rome, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Stockholm and London are as much as 20% cheaper than average. July is considered high season in many destinations, but hotel rooms in Sydney and New York are actually cheaper than average then. The last week in December, also considered high season in most destinations, is also a great time to travel to Stockholm.

WHEN IN ROME. Agoda's new study shows that Mid-March is an ideal time to fly to Rome.

How much can you save? Price variations from month to month can be significant. On average, a hotel room in Berlin, for example, costs 51% more in September compared to January. Visit Barcelona in January and you’ll save 49% off the average room price. November through February, Istanbul hotels are about 23% cheaper than average. In June, they’re 21% more expensive.

Unfortunately, if you’re traveling to Asia on a budget, you won’t find many low season bargains. Hotel prices in Asia’s most popular destinations are consistent throughout the year and discounts vary little. For example, if you’re traveling to Hong Kong, the biggest discount you’ll get is in May or June, when average prices are around 11% off.  

Across the globe, the most expensive months for hotel rooms is October, when 21 of the 25 markets studied had higher than average room rates.
